Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

If they'd manage to do it more often, it wouldn't get quoted so much.

Why the hell would someone of Boyce's age still be on the same ship so many years later?

Free vodka.

There better be lots and lots of drones or I’ll be very disappointed.

All that matters is: will Brian Brophy make an appearance / be the real star?

He could show up as Maddox's grandfather - or as Brian Brophy since he's too cool for death and would still be alive & well in the 23rd century.

While to some extent, I agree and sympathize, if you go back through the entire franchise, I believe you'll find that maybe 20% of all the stories were geared toward exploration and boldly going.

I mean, how many episodes was it before we had a robot copy of Kirk?

To set an example for
Leonard H. McCoy M.D
Nyota Uhura
Montgomery Scott

I like Discovery and Picard for the most part and am fine with the serialized storytelling (I prefer it in the case of Picard), but Strange New Worlds does seem like the perfect opportunity to so something a little more old school and episodic. That doesn't mean Disco and Picard have to switch over to being episodic, it just means that that's how STW will be different than the other two shows - by being episodic. The streaming format gives you the opportunity have have your cake and eat it too.

I didn't like PIC and I didn't like DIS and I didn't like NuTrek. I'm gonna do a easy pass. I bet they won't even mention the Sheliak or w/e.

10 in production. 7 in broadscast.

I hope they retire the Discovery aesthetic during its run and go with more TOS looking ships, like the Saladin and a TOS Miranda Class. Maybe even some of the STO designs.

They might. This show could be a move in a right direction finally.
What better way to sell more ships at Eaglemoss

I would think so but look at the Klingon changes too.

They don't look like Genghis Khan, so....

True.

@RedAlert : Definitely on cable in Canada. I don't know how Bell Media swung that deal, but I'm grateful for it!

I definitely do not think that about DSC. I like DSC! We are in the middle of a trek renaissance and all people can do is crap on the whole franchise and it’s sad.

We’ll come to a time, circa 2035, when the second golden age of Star Trek has fully ended and the franchise is in total stasis again, and the loudest critics of the 2017-onward era will abruptly lament the passing of a friend. “In hindsight,” a 2036 internet thread will read, “Kurtzman Trek was actually pretty OK.”

 

[thribs]

That’s a good question. Netflix or Amazon outside the Colonies?

So...Pike vs. the Borg...?

They probably will put the Borg in this somewhere.
I hope they keep this a family show. They don’t need strong language or graphic violence.
